supra 712 in the snow?

So, I was wondering what people thought of these in the snow. Thats what I've got, and they dont seem god awful horrible in the snow, at least not the half inch on the roads.

They suck badly. I tried once with less that 1/8" of snow on the street and even babying it, I was going down the street at a 45 degree angle.
Any summer only tire will suck in the winter.

I got stuck in my driveway and had to take the corolla to the store.

You know what is really strange, my Nitto 555RII's were better in the rain than my 712's and 711's.
